Too bad that [Wayback/Archive] Cara (@Caramelia79) / Twitter deleted their tweet before it got archived, so this lone tweet does not really make sense now:
[Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@Caramelia79 @unimanatee Heute neu gelernt: AEG Methode.” / Twitter
The joke however was this:
AEG Methode:
- Ausschalten
- Einschalten
- Geht
It is also known as “AEG-Prinzip” and refers back to the AEG brand that was (still is?) big in Germany for household appliances and industrial products.
The not so cool thing is that by now it seams to mean:
- Ausschalten
- Einschalten
- Geht nicht
as about a year ago some AEG microwave appliance models show errors F606 and F254 after a firmware update: they now think they are steam ovens but cannot find the correct steam hardware:

Yesterday, I wrote about Learn to program the gradual way: Welcome to Hedy! and today is the next installment: about numerals.
[Archive] /Fay-lee-nuh/ (@Felienne) | Twitter kind of by surprise discovered that the ten numerical digits of the decimal numeral system used in virtually all programming languages are not the original Arabic forms.
Supporting other forms of decimal numerals will help learning to program when your background is non-English or even using ten systems outside the Arabic numeral realm so common in Latin alphabets. And they are a fun learning exercise for every body too!
Some of the related Tweets on this:
Some more related Wikipedia links:
In the Unicode pages, look for “numeral”, “number”, and “numeric” (or just for “num”).

Cool way to learn programming in a gradual way which works adults just as well as for kids: [Wayback/Archive] Felienne/hedy
Hedy is a gradual programming language to teach children programming. Gradual languages use different language levels, where each level adds new concepts and syntactic complexity. At the end of the Hedy level sequence, kids master a subset of syntactically valid Python.
